An ideal setting for Lithops is a group planting in a dish garden, intermixed with rounded stones of various sizes and colors. The plants then display their nature of mimicry to the fullest as they become almost indistinguishable from the pebbles at a glance. Pots that are about 3 – 5 inches deep are recommended to allow the roots adequate room to grow. Note: Planting Lithops in terrariums is not recommended due to extreme humidity. I just replanted mine in a lovely square white chip dip bowl on sale at Kmart. I have to remember to pick up some medium stones next time I am on the beach.
